As a result of it’s so extensively obtainable on-line and even with major docs, it’s made me assume docs are extra open-minded now, that they’re keen to do all this stuff.

And my expertise has been, at the least on the weight-loss facet, that it’s been a bit of bit disappointing, that I’ve form of plateaued and I hold needing to boost my dosages.

Yessenia, 36, Conn., Democrat, Latina, instructor

I’d say it’s principally unfavourable. I’ve been form of hush-hush about being on it, except somebody tells me they’re on it, as a result of I’ve heard folks gossiping about others being on it.

Brooke, 39, Fla., Republican, white, canine groomer

Leo, 46, Texas, Republican, Latino, logistics

I have a look at celebrities which might be on it or which were on it, and it’s modified their life a bit of bit. However I feel some have accomplished that for the fallacious purpose, whether or not it’s ladies or males doing it, I feel generally they simply do it for the style piece of it, to allow them to get talked about.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

I feel extra folks would most likely strive it apart from the value. For lots of people, it’s unaffordable.

Erica, 36, Mo., Republican, white, social employee

I positively assume it must be lined by insurance coverage. Loads of instances it’s solely lined you probably have diabetes, not only for weight problems. In order that’s been the battle for me the entire time. I don’t have diabetes. I simply have weight problems. That’s a illness, too, and I feel as effectively, or a medical situation. So I really feel prefer it must be lined.

Joanne, 52, N.J., Republican, white, billing

I agree. I agree with one thing Kathryn mentioned earlier, that we’re lacking one thing in our physique that different folks could have. Medication fulfills it. So I do assume it must be lined. I feel it will cowl a variety of well being points down the street, and I don’t assume these firms are wanting down the street. I feel they’re wanting on the value now.

Leo, 46, Texas, Republican, Latino, logistics

I feel it must be lined — perhaps restricted, to some extent, such as you get re-evaluated each six months or one thing — however essentially lined.

Ricardo, 33, Ariz., Democrat, Black, coach

It ought to positively be lined by insurance coverage. I feel that this journey is part of well being care. The well being system ought to perceive that whenever you assist somebody’s weight reduction journey, you’ll be able to alleviate among the long-term penalties. It’ll lower your expenses in the long run. And so I feel that’s the lacking piece. Why isn’t it lined? That’s the principle query.

Ricardo, 33, Ariz., Democrat, Black, coach

Cash.

Andrew, 69, S.C., Republican, white, software program engineer

I don’t perceive the insurance coverage firms protecting it for diabetes however not for weight reduction. It’s like smoking. If you wish to stop smoking, Nicorette gum and aids like that aren’t lined by insurance coverage. Why not? I don’t perceive it.

Sara, 26., Mass., impartial, white, displays coordinator

My protection is altering subsequent yr, and so my well being care supplier was telling me about this deal as a result of it would assist me afford the medication. She did inform me that it will be vials and needles reasonably than pens, like we’ve got now. It’s a pleasant sentiment from the president. Nevertheless it’s truthfully only a disgrace that insurance coverage isn’t going to cowl it.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

I’ll consider it after I see it. Like a lot with this administration, it’s simply all speak, speak, speak, speak.

Joanne, 52, N.J., Republican, white, billing

I feel it’s an excellent factor if it occurs, however I additionally really feel like if you may get it down that low, then they have been overcharging the insurance coverage firms and everyone else this complete complete time.

Virginia, 56, Mich., Democrat, Latino, disabled

I feel larger entry could be a double-edged sword. I feel that there are individuals who wish to lose 5 or 10 kilos, they usually could take the drug away from any person who actually wants it for diabetes. There have been instances when it’s been very laborious to get due to the demand.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

Weight problems is why so many individuals undergo from different diseases, like diabetes and hypertension and coronary heart points. Something that will trigger you to drop pounds would have an effect on different situations, so I can’t see why the medical institution wouldn’t make it extra inexpensive for folks to get this.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

I’ll consider it after I see it, however as of proper now, I’m not too optimistic about it. And if it does occur, I don’t assume it’s going to be anytime quickly.

Kathryn, 65, Ohio, Libertarian, white, accountant

Personal insurance coverage firms don’t wish to actually pay for long-term stuff as a result of that affected person might be not going to be on that insurance coverage when the long run comes. However what Trump’s speaking about is Medicare. And I went on Medicare, and so the federal government’s choosing up my medical insurance from right here on out. So they’ll save from the long-term advantages of me being on it. So I feel that for issues like Medicare, when the individual paying for it will probably reap the long-term financial savings, then the federal government can pay for it. However for personal employers, they don’t have any assure that an individual’s going to be an worker when the center assault comes or no matter later. In order that they don’t wish to pay for it within the quick time period.

Sara, 26., Mass., impartial, white, displays coordinator

I do know in regards to the F.D.A. form of changing into extra regulated with what we’re allowed to place in our meals, the dyes and whatnot, making an attempt to be extra like Europe, different nations, being extra strict.

Virginia, 56, Mich., Democrat, Latino, disabled

Anti-vaxxer. That’s all I’ve.

Kathryn, 65, Ohio, Libertarian, white, accountant

Properly, it’s “make America wholesome once more.” And Kennedy, he’s acquired some good concepts and a few actually dangerous concepts. So it’s simply all throughout the board. I do like the thought of eliminating the dyes within the meals and that stuff. I’m very nervous. My children received’t vaccinate my grandkids. That will be a very dangerous thought.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

At this specific time, it’s only a phrase. It’s only a phrase. It’s simply one thing some individuals are saying. I haven’t seen something that will point out something that’s being initiated.

Yessenia, 36, Conn., Democrat, Latina, instructor

Cease listening to all of the stigmas and these loopy unintended effects social media retains posting, and simply give it a strive in case you really feel such as you want it.

Brooke, 39, Fla., Republican, white, canine groomer

Don’t be afraid. Simply do what you must do to handle your self.

Sara, 26., Mass., impartial, white, displays coordinator

Andrew, 69, S.C., Republican, white, software program engineer

It’s not only a magic potion. You’ll want to train and food plan in case you actually should hold the load off.

Erica, 36, Mo., Republican, white, social employee

It’s a software in your toolbox, not only a fast repair.

Invoice, 67, Calif., impartial, white, bartender

Ricardo, 33, Ariz., Democrat, Black, coach

I simply hope that individuals perceive the science. That’s bottom line. Folks simply don’t perceive science, and it’s only a lazy factor to say: Properly, you’re lazy. It’s like, you’re lazy since you don’t perceive the science.

Xavier, 56, Unwell., Democrat, Black, housekeeping

Go for it and check out that for your self.

Joseph, 63, Md., Democrat, Black, driver

When you’ve tried all the things else and nothing appears to work, give it a shot.

Kathryn, 65, Ohio, Libertarian, white, accountant
